Abstract
This study characterizes left ventricular function in terms of passive and active elastances (Ep & Ea) and shape factor index. Both the active elastance and shape factor indices can be employed as contractility indices. The work also demonstrates how Ep and Ea can explain LV pressure dynamics in terms of LV volume dynamics.
